Allegretto Wave ® Eye-Q Laser

Allegretto Wave ® Eye-Q Laser is a type of laser that provides wavefront LASIK or wavefront-guided LASIK. Allegretto Wave ® Eye-Q Laser takes 3–D measurements of how your eye processes images. These images guide the laser in re-shaping the cornea, producing precise and individualized vision correction. This technology improves how much you can see (visual acuity measured by the standard 20/20 eye chart) and also how well you can see, in terms of contrast sensitivity and fine detail.

To understand this, imagine a 3-D map that demonstrates irregularities in the way your eye processes images. These irregularities are unique, and exist in addition to nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Information contained in the 3-D map guides the laser in customizing the treatment to reshape your eye’s corneal surface so that these unique irregularities can be corrected
